Real patients

Is a root canal painful?

Mayur talks about the treatment of his decayed tooth at House of Tooth.

What it feels like

Usually much less than the toothache

We numb the tooth first, so the treatment itself feels similar to a routine filling. In fact, the pain of an infected tooth is usually far worse than the treatment that fixes it.

Afterwards, mild tenderness for a day or two is normal and settles with the medicine we prescribe. Also, we complete most treatments in one or two visits, depending on the tooth.

What really happens during a root canal

Do I need a root canal?

Signs to get checked

You may need a root canal if you have

  • Persistent or throbbing tooth pain
  • Sensitivity to hot or cold that lingers
  • Pain when biting or chewing
  • Swelling around a tooth
  • A small pimple or boil on the gum

Good to know

  • Sensitivity to cold has many causes; not every sensitive tooth needs a root canal
  • Saving your own tooth is usually better than removing it, when it can be restored
  • Spreading facial swelling with fever or trouble swallowing or breathing: go to a hospital
  • Early treatment is usually simpler

Root canal or extraction? · Dental emergency: what to do

How it works

Your root canal, step by step

Step 1

Diagnosis

We examine the tooth and take an X-ray to see the infection and the roots.

Step 2

Numbing

First, we numb the area with local anaesthesia so you stay comfortable.

Step 3

Cleaning

Then we remove the infected pulp and clean and disinfect the canals, using a laser in suitable cases.

Step 4

Sealing

After that, we seal the canals and close the tooth with a temporary filling.

Step 5

Crown

Finally, back teeth usually need a crown within a few weeks, because a treated tooth can crack.

We complete most root canal treatments in one or two visits, depending on the condition of the tooth. After that, we fit a crown if the tooth needs one.

Persistent or throbbing pain, sensitivity to hot or cold that lingers, pain when biting, swelling around a tooth, or a small boil on the gum. However, only an examination and X-ray can confirm it.

When the tooth can be restored, saving it is usually better: you keep your natural bite and avoid needing a replacement. However, teeth that are severely broken or affected by advanced gum disease may need removing. Root canal vs extraction

For back teeth, usually yes, within a few weeks, because a treated tooth is weaker and can crack. However, a front tooth with little damage often only needs a filling. Crown after root canal

In suitable cases we use a dental laser to help disinfect inside the root canals, as part of a precise and comfortable treatment.

Mild tenderness for a day or two is normal and settles with the medicine we prescribe. Avoid chewing on the tooth until it is fully restored, and call us if pain gets worse instead of better.
